Into Something Good: The Mickie Most Years 1964–1972 is a 4-CD box set by British pop group Herman's Hermits, released 2008 on EMI.
The box set contains a complete representation of all of the recordings Herman's Hermits recorded for official release from 1964 to 1972, plus previously unreleased material, rarities, and a few solo singles by lead singer Peter Noone, recorded on Mickie Most's RAK label after Noone left the band.
Most acted as producer during the entire length of the Hermits' eight-year career. Herman's Hermits charted in the U.S. and Britain fairly regularly because of their pop accessibility — a result of simple but very well-crafted arrangements. AllMusic reviewer Steve Leggett assesses the band's catalogue thus: "As one quickly discovers, the Hermits' work was an embarrassment of pop/rock riches second only to The Beatles in consistency, if not ambition."
